"This book will spontaneously combust!"

Not only did I think that my Rocket E-Book Reader would spontaneously combust but I was definitely hot and bothered reading these three highly erotic stories. I could not put this book down. I read it in a matter of hours and now will have to read it over again very slowly just in case I missed a word or two.

The first story, BONDAGE, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST had Brianne's stepson Cedric selling her off so he wouldn't have to share his father's inheritance with her. Cedric sells Brianne to a beast of a man who was transformed because he wouldn't marry a witch. Now this beast is trying to find someone who will be able to break the witch's spell. Will Brianne be the one? The beast won't know until he has her full submission in every way. Will Brianne be submissive after a little trip to the torture chamber? Oh, what a torture chamber it is!

The second story, A QUESTION OF PLEASURE is about a confederate spy named Rose who seduces Major Alan McReynolds of the Union Army so she can appropriate a list from him. Unfortunately Rose has fallen in love with Alan. This doesn't stop Alan from punishing Rose in all ways possible when he catches her. Nothing is left to the imagination in this highly titillating story!

The third story, THE BLOODSLAVE is a futuristic about three vampire mercenaries who are helping the Jeranth take over a planet. They are scaling a cliff when suddenly they are being shot at. It's up to Julian, Andre and Dominic, the three vampires to go after the shooter. When they realize the shooter is a human, they nearly freak as it's been at least six months since they've had real blood. Not only do they want to take Verica prisoner, they also want to make her their Bloodslave. Can they persuade her into going along with this? What kind of persuasion will it take? They are willing to persuade for as long as possible.

This is a must read to add a bit of spice into your life but be sure you have a very strong heart before reading these highly erotic stories.

Summary

In Anastasia Day's Bodice Rippers, three lovely women meet the Prince Charming they've been searching for ñ only to discover his idea of "happily ever after" includes handcuffs and riding crops. The first story, "Bondage, Beauty and the Beast," is definitely not the Disney version as the Beast teaches his Beauty erotic submission. In "A Question of Pleasure," a Union captain discovers his lover is a Confederate spy and sets out to discover just what secrets she's revealed ñ even if he must use sensuous persuasion to make her talk. Finally, a pretty mercenary becomes "The Bloodslave" when she finds herself a prisoner of war to three kinky vampires who consider her virginity an irresistible temptation.
